[PvE] Most solo-friendly dual-wielding class?

Dank_Rafft
Hey,

I played ESO right before update 1.6 for a few hours and I thought I'd like an archer since I love bows. I found I like the dual-wield gameplay a lot more because it seems to be more fluid and fast-paced (and it looks boss). But before I start my adventure with the little spare time I have I want to make sure I pick the right class, resp. choose the one which will make the most of dual-wielding.

So, which class would you recommend to me?

    Soloing comes down to surviving. My nightblade with dw/twohand can solo most anything. Blood crazy in the DW line (a morph) and rally in the two hand line are stacking heals. They are also based on stamina which is a huge plus.

    Aside from DW, do any other weapons interest you?

    Kajit Nightblade is what I run, and love it. At VR14, I have 83% critical strike, and when buffed, 4000 weapon damage.

    dual wield itself doesn't have a gap closer which can be a bit annoying. NB is a traditionally popular choice for dual wielders as that has ambush and +30% stam regen (amongst other things) I'd say either NB or DK are the best choices for waving around two weapons.

    I'm interested in bow and twohander as a secondary weapon.

    I'm leveling a Dunner Dragonknight right now (DW+2h........stamina build). I'm vet2 right now and he can pretty much solo anything.....so far. I switch back and fourth between the two a lot and use the two hand as a gap closer when needed. I'm running with around 50% crit on weapons and spells.

    I have found that I like Dunner or Imperial best for Dragonknight builds (although I do have a vr14 Nord Dragonknight). The Nord was my first Dragonknight......live and learn on him.

    I'm glad I'm not the only one who made the mistake of selecting a Nord as my first DK :) .

    Stupid question, but how the hell do you get 4000+ weapon dmg with such a high crit rate? :confused:
